Quadro versus GeForce graphics card in trading

From reading NVidia's website, learned that Quadro NVS graphics chips are designed for "professionals" and the GeForce chips are for gamers and home use (general purpose).

Further found some comments like these:

A quadro card is used for graphics design and CAD processing. It isn't meant for highend gaming

Quadro cards are intended for content creation, and they are tested an optimized for that type of use. GeForce cards are intended for gaming and general applications, and they're optimized for that.
= = = = =

So far I have only used graphics cards with the GeForce series (e.g. 5400FX, 8400GS, etc.). From what I gathered the Quadro series are more expensive (sold as new). e.g. a dual card Quadro NVS 300 is ~$180. A GeForce 8400GS dual card can be had for $60.

From a trading application perspective, do you see any added advantage using the Quadro cards versus the GeForce cards? e.g. more reliable? Pictures clearer? Refresh/painting faster?

I'm currently using both. I see no difference at all. I've mostly used Quadro NVS for the last 5-6 years or so (currently, the 295).. and buy them on eBay for $25-$35, on average.

Main advantage of NVS over (most) GeForce cards is the low power consumption (~20W) and lack of a cooling fan making them quieter and potentially more reliable as fans can fail.

I have a pair of NVS 285s and they work well.

If you are looking at GeForce cards, then the new GT 430 might be a decent alternative to NVS - low profile, power consumption just 10W at idle (which is what it will be most of the time when displaying charts) and max consumption < 40W when flat out playing games.
